Jaguar Land Rover runs several programs offering services to owners of older models from the respective Jaguar and Land Rover brands.

All of those programs are now consolidated in the new department Jaguar Land Rover Classic. The department, which replaces the former Jaguar Land Rover Heritage operation, has been established to better reflect the capabilities and knowledge of Jaguar Land Rover's classic car experts. It’s also a reflection of the growing interest in classic cars, among both collectors and investors.

Some of the capabilities of Jaguar Land Rover Classic include providing services and parts for classic models. The parts catalog now boasts more than 30,000 individual parts, most of which can be ordered at the dealership level. Jaguar Land Rover Classic can also handle complete restoration projects, though in this case cars will need to be shipped to one of the department’s various facilities in the United Kingdom.

And you don’t have to own a classic Jaguar or Land Rover to be involved with Jaguar Land Rover Classic. The department also offers drive events where you’ll be able to sample some of the cars in Jaguar Land Rover’s official collection. There’s even a race series set up for pre-1966 Jaguar models.

“Renaming the rapidly growing global business to Jaguar Land Rover Classic best reflects the division’s overall capabilities in providing the best cars, services, parts and experiences for our customers,” said Tim Hannig, head of Jaguar Land Rover Classic. “We aim to build an even more successful future by celebrating and nurturing Jaguar and Land Rover’s past.”

What is the Monitor difference? Tackling the tough headlines – with humanity. Listening to sources – with respect. Seeing the story that others are missing by reporting what so often gets overlooked: the values that connect us. That’s Monitor reporting – news that changes how you see the world.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
